Android phone why did my phone download wish app

The iPhone got a fingerprint scanner on the 5s, the the next Samsung got one. Apple also does not have some extreme commercials that directly aim at Thebes competition. This has happened less, but in old ones, they are so common that there are sometimes errors. For example, a Galaxy Tab commercial compared it to the iPad Air, when, if you looked closer, it was actually an iPad 3rd or 4th generation.

Again, some of these facts are very true and helpful, but maybe acknowledging the other side could help people understand more. Thanks for your insight, Aidan! I actually hope to create an article in the future highlighting the advantages of iPhones over Android phones.

Hopefully an article like that would help people understand both sides better! I agree. That was by far the worst argument. For years Android devices have had better technical hardware, but because of the less fragmentation, or variety, is why iPhones have always been the fastest.

There are so many factors that go into how fast or slow a phone runs rather than just internal hardware. Also, multi-threaded actions on an Android phone blow iPhones out of the water. Appreciate the comment! I totally disagree with this. A couple of years ago i used to buy android phones but whenever i filled the memory or RAM the phones stucks damn so much that i have to pull out the battery and re-insert.

Anyways an iPhone is mch better than a creepy android phone. The main problem with android is it keep uses the device storage by itself and keeps the misc files which i never copied or downloaded. And the background apps keep using ram idk why is 4gb of ram in a phone. I mean where is that 4gb of ram is using? Apple can do anything. I feel safe with iPhone, i know my data is backedup itunes icloud.

Where android has only customizations nothiny else. A specs like more than a gaming pc but nothing. I bet you guys if its Samsung galaxy s8 plus i copy my all msgs the messages app will not open i have tested this with s7edge Sooo… iPhone hats off to you. Have you heard of cloud storage?

Also, having that many text messages and pictures on your phone has nothing to do with RAM, it affects your physical internal memory. First of all apple has apple pay. Apple is really a better product they make macbooks Laptop The phones are also alot thinner I have android but am moving on to a apple.

I have used both iphones and Androids. Both have their own advantages and Disadvantages. But in many ways Android rules. I used a Samsung S3 before. I own a iphone SE now and want to switch back to Samsung. Thinking of getting a Samsung S7 Edge.

I hope Samsung is going to launch S8 soon. Do you think S8 is a worthy upgrade to S7? The Samsung S8 is out! Due to my contract with my cell provider, I am planning to wait for the S9 to upgrade from my S7. Hi, I agree with most, but I am still thinking that in overall iphone is still better somehow. I always have had a samsung galaxy twice a s2 and now a s5 and I want to upgrade, and I am seriously thinking about upgrading to an iphone 7.

The thing is my husband never has any of these problems which you do get with android and a better privacy protection with apple But it is a difficult choice as I do like the google store and other options. Years ago I had an iPod and an iTunes account. IPod was stolen and I was told I could transfer my purchased music to my 7edge Samsung.

Is that possible??? Is there a similar Android app that has the variety of music that iTunes has currently??? Android wins hands down. Go search Youtube….. If u argue…. Qualcomm made the words first 5G Soc. So telling that Appe chips are better that their Android Counterpart seems like a joke..

In my opinion Android is shit, no updates to software, unfriendly, or I should say unsatisfying user interface. The look and feel of android is kinda disgusting when compared to in my opinion a superior operating system which is iOS. There is no advantage by choosing android really, ios offers the same things and does a better job.

Only thing android has going for it is budget cell phones that have poor hardware and a maximum of 8GB storage. Different people have different opinions as you made very clear with your own opinions , and some people might like to customize how their home screen looks to make it their own.

Why not give users the option to customize it if they would like? Make sure your points are valid before posting. Man that was a lot of reading! I have read this amazing detailed article and all of its comments. The way you completely demolished any negative or misinformed person on the matter I say Sir was very entertaining! The way you cut them down to size with facts was awesome!

I currently own an IPhone 6 Plus and have owned the 2g, 3gs, and the 4s. Literally have always owned an iPhone. Most of the time for tweaking purposes have been jail broken. However in the recent years it has been getting harder to do and seeming pointless to do so. Tweaks are getting harder to get, coders have left, and updates very rarely come up etc. Here are my worries. I really do appreciate this very informative article.

Just wish it would help me decide on whether I stay iPhone user or try something new and go android thx! If you take the latest iPhone the iPhone 7 and the latest flagship Android phones Samsung Galaxy S7, Google Pixel, etc , real-world tests will show some differences between the phones, yes. The iphone is not user friendly. There is no provision for exporting your contacts to a cvs file or to microsoft outlook. With windows phone dying I have to pick an android or iPhone.

Without a doubt windows interface since windows 8 is better than both android or iPhone. Windows phone failed for different reasons. I looked at android phones a couple years ago. It sucked. I only saw a cluttered screen with every possible color in the world jammed in the home screen.

I used briefly a couple android tablets. Felt like junk. IPhone I used superficially. Interface was better than android. And that reason itself killed android from my list.

Who said too many choices is a good thing. Every choice is a set of varied parameters that needs to be weighed in before making a decision. A single choice that has been used, tested and established by a large number of user base over years seems like a better deal to me. IPhone did that. There has to be stuff backing it. Hardware is always ahead of software in recent years. Software that works consistently, gets updated frequently and has clean user interface is all that matters.

I am yet to test both phones but I am leaning towards IPhone. And I have never used an apple or android product ever. Only DOS and windows since To each their own — but thanks for your insight! I do use an iPad at work and really enjoy it. I absolutely love the Nova Launcher!

The Swype keyboard is a must. God bless wacom. Back button is great too. One feature of iPhones that I found interesting was the ability to make calls over WiFi. Is this a real thing?

Thanks for the article. Wi-Fi calling has been a thing for some time now. Anyway, thanks for the comment! This was as of January Anyway, good piece, really informative.

Chapeau for the outstanding article! I must say, yours is probably the best comparison article I have ever come across. Thank you for your detailed info regarding the two systems and I must say although I have never owned an apple phone myself I do quite agree with all your points, being from experience of seeing my friends using the iPhone.

Another thing I realized about these iPhone users is that as soon as Apple announce a new launch, everyone goes crazy to upgrade their phones! Just to give a rough idea of what sort of person I am, I once owned a Samsung Galaxy Wonder and I used it for more than 3 years until the battery was practically bloated. The system crashed a lot and the lag is terrible, but I honestly loved it.

This being said, I never understood the hype of why Apple users seem to always want to buy new products as soon as they launch. Even the newly converted android-to-apple users seem to join in the craze. I am currently using a Samsung Note 3 bought in and I find that this phone absolutely lovely.

With the multitasking ability at that point was rather new , large screen, great camera resolution and ability to write notes by hand, for me it totally overruled the then newest iPhone. I love how I am able to customize my phone to my liking which in my opinion helped me prioritize the things I want to be able to see and use via widgets and shortcuts which is a lacking feature in iPhone. I live among android users and the idea of forgetting my charging cable and suffering for the rest of the day is why I prefer the universal android charging cable.

Even so, many people including my boyfriend are trying to persuade me to get an iPhone. That is how i got here. And I really thank you again for your excellent article for giving me the basic insight regarding the difference of the two.

I am now considering buying the iPhone 7 for myself and I might even change my current phone to the Galaxy S7 Edge simply to get a first-hand experience. I agree with your points, but I really dont think either one is inherently better than the other. I have personally had both and switched back and forth constantly. I find that apple has the much better app store and its an overall very simple experience.

I love the big screen of most android phones and how cheap you can get some big screened phones, but as someone who wants a simple streamlined experience, im going to stick with apple, for now. Very good article outlining differences between apple and Android.

I myself have been a long time iPhone user, but I recently switched to a Samsung s7 and will never go back. The only problem I have with this article is that it says the Samsung s7 has an IR blaster as a feature, which it does not have. Sad because I thought this would be handy if I lose the remote and want to use my TV without tearing through the living room looking for it.

Hey Hunter, thanks for the comment! Also, great catch on the IR blaster detail! I have updated the article to reflect that change. I do appreciate the information you gave me is I am not a high-tech person either. And I wish I could just keep it because I like it and not have to buy a new phone.

It keeps shutting itself ,so I turn it back on, and it keepsturning itself back off again. If I leave it off a couple hours I can turn it back on and it will stay on and I can use it again. The gentleman at the second store said that this will start to happen after a few years with an Android phone. The software cannot keep up with all the new updates. They are very expensive.

I do like what smartphones offer , I use it a lot. I thought about switching to the iPhone. I understand that you have to buy most things for an iPhone. And I like being able to download CDs on my Droid without having to pay for it all over again. So I am debating about what to do. Any info any advice you offer is appreciated.

Hi Kathy! Although you are seeing that problem with your S4, iPhones will suffer from that same problem as well. Hopefully that info helps! For a non-tech person would it be better to buy somewhat lower end phones, either brand, but buy a new phone more often? Excluding that Apple no longer gives a headphone jack. Apple and Jobs were the underdog and apparently Apple is the underdog again or on the way to it.

The pro to android with customizations and lauchers is good because you can change the look of your phone to the way you like. One huge negative aspect of this however is that NONE of the lauchers for android and customizations actually look good. And one big thing about the hardward. This article is like alot of ignorant fanboy android users they think on paper android devices outshine iphones however in real life tests iphones out perform android just take a look at speed tests where users lauch cpu intensive games iphone launches way quicker.

Check out also geek bench test scores iphone 7 plus way better scores than your samsung s7 edge and pixel xl phones. So I would just get the facts checked out straight first before you post about hardware. If you look at some of the screenshots I have on this article, one of the side by side screenshots is using the Nova launcher for Android. I would take that look times out of times over iOS. At least with Android you can customize whatever launcher you want.

As far as real life speed tests, etc. Is your average user going to care that when you open 12 full blown games in a row on a phone, that the iPhone opens them in total a few seconds faster than an Android? Because no user opens that many full blown games back to back.

They just do those tests for benchmarks. Much better picture quality and beautiful screens compared to iPhones. But, please make an article regarding the pros of Apple. I really want to know the limitations of both the platforms. Hey Ashwin! Thanks for your comment.

I actually do plan on eventually coming out with an article stating the pros of iPhones over Androids.

Thanks for the suggestion! Great Article??? Another feature is;Android can run emulators and now even PS2 emulation is being tested..!! I have to say i have use both of android and ios ipod, iphone, ipad2, ipad mini. I totally agree with this article that you can get more customization on android. Some will feel that iphone is faster than android. It is true if u compare a dollar iphone with the mid-range android or the bad high-range android i mean it is a bad optimization software like Z2 in the price range.

Ps apologize for my bad english, as it is not my native language. Thanks for your comment! I have no idea why Apple got rid of the headphone jack. It baffles me. Great and very true article. I find it a mistake that you compared the s6 plus to the s7 edge instead of the s6, that made apple look better than they are… even though it still made them look bad lol. The s6 has a horrible mAh and the edge has Even the iPhone 7 will only have , and the 7 plus about Theyre finally behind and will stay behind forever now in all aspects.

I will be updated some information in my article soon about the iPhone 7 that was just released. Getting rid of the headphone jack, for instance, was a major mistake.

Actually android is better than iphone because you cannot even access files and android is customizable non like iphone that depends on the ios for me that sucks and you cannot even expand the storage non like android and just to access files on iphone we need a computer non like android we can just access the files directly, we all know that android is cheaper than iphone but you cannot get these futures on an iphone.

If you have to insult iPhone user that tells me who the fool really is. I am one of those 2 phone people, who separated my personal phone from my work phone because one day I will part with my company and have to turn my phone in. There are a few things about Android phones that I love. Widgets are also much better with Android. They just work better.

BUT, short of those 2 minor things, the user experience is waaaaayyyy better on iOS. The layout is better, notifications are better, apps are better, memory management is much better, it is faster, and battery life is better. You folks who look at spec. Be happy with your Android device if you want to sit on the side of specs, but you have an inferior device. Thanks for the reply Tom! I would have to disagree that notifications are better in iOS. Thanks Tom. Thanks for the helpful info on androids!

Very useful information. This makes iPhone users jealous. And Can you please write an article about the best android phone brands? There are a number of good companies out there that make great phones that run Android. How did you come up with that thought, greedy? Though you may disagree with their choice tey like their device it pleases them, not any different than you choosing your phone device of choices.

Also, explain the scarcity of up to date applications and lack of applications. Years ago the Mac did not have all the apps Windows did, but that is now not an issue.

Here is a thought, it is the app manufacture that determines if they will write the app not the phone vender. Be aware that many software vendors are putting their apps online being used in a browser, vendors such as Adobe, Microsoft, Apple, the list goes on, thus their apps are browser based not OS based.

Also, calling folks a fool does not have you come across too good. By the way it is spelled iPhone, and check your grammar. Once you stop having that amount of free memory available, performance starts suffering.

Just look at the Note 7 being destroyed by real life speed tests with a phone that was put out by Apple almost a year prior. I like both phones very much, however my iPhone always performs better, gets updated faster, resells for a lot more money when I decide to sell it, etc.

I think they both perform very well. It is unfortunate that Android updates take so long to push out because of the carriers. Thanks for your input! If something is good, then use it. Incorporate it, make it worth the while.

Blatant plagiarism is one thing, but features? Plethora of physical designs, boot up, etc. So where you begin with your disclaimer… It sorta loses a lot of merit when you say things like that. The hardware comparison seemed a bit odd to. Can you do some research into that? I disagree with your software comment.

You can throw hundreds of gigs of ram into hardware, if the software is sloppy no amount of hardware will save it. I think solid benchmark testing is going to be what really determines this. Boot up times, stress multi tasking, run loads, etc. Hardware is cool…. I did think there were some solid points though on the universal connector.

All in all a decent opinion column, but it felt like it lacked in objectivity and facts. If Apple is copying features from Android phones, those companies must be doing something right. Not to mention the countless court cases that have gone back and forth between Apple and other companies such as Samsung.

I would like to do some more research with benchmark numbers. I have looked briefly at benchmark numbers in the past. I know as far as multitasking goes, Android phones really reign supreme with their 4 and 8-core processors. However, single threaded tasks seem to be quicker on iPhones. You just get a lot more hardware for less money when you buy an Android phone in general, not always.

Thanks so much for creating this article! I agree with the stats you posted here. But what about the fact that android allocates a maximum ram of 48 MB per app where as IOS can provide MB per its applications? Infact there is no clear memory limitation in IOS. May be that is the reason IOS apps are far ahead when it comes to quality and performance?

That will explain the benchmark results despite the fact that android devices have a better configuration on paper.

What is the point of having huge configuration values when apps cannot utilize the same? Try reloading it or exiting out of the app and rejoin it and try again.

I looked around a number of times and also my phone to see if I can do them but no luck. How on the android version do you get it to simply play an album in track order rather than the loony alphabetical order it keeps defaulting to!!

Unless you manually tap and drag the songs around in the album playback screen not the original album listing screen , there is no way to automatically sort songs by track number in the app.

You can get VLC to play audio files stored on your device by renaming the files, adding a track number just after the artist name. As far as I know all players play files in alphabetical order by default so this works with all players. You can also group files by genre by adding a category at the beginning of each file name. Below are the eight categories I use. Well, I do not think that VLC has the share feature. So, we should actually locate the video file in the local or external storage and share it to whatsapp.
